I've been playing The Show for a long time. Only recently (last year) have I started playing online because online before last year was just a terrible experience.
I had an outstanding DD H2H rating last year, and have a pretty good record this year as well. However, I cannot for the life of me hit righty-vs-righty or lefty-vs-lefty.
Almost every single pitcher you face in DD throws 96-99 mph. You have to swing SO INCREDIBLY EARLY at the high-and-tight heat that it makes it absolutely impossible. If you sell out against that heat, then sure, you can catch up to it. But if you sell out, you have ZERO chance at anything else. If you're looking for something else, the heat will ROAST you. It's like theres absolutely nothing you can do.
I can hit .370 with Francisco Lindor, but hit .200-.220 with 95 Bautista and 97 Kemp. It's a shame because I can't use half the cards in the game because I simply can't put right handed batters in my starting lineup. It's just broken bats, tap outs to the catcher, and Ks.
And then lefty on lefty, forget it. If you throw over 92 mph and have a decent slider, I'll be hitting .083.
The vast majority of my opponents also clearly struggle with this. However you get the occasional juggernaut who just hits .370 with all of his right handed hitters, immediately jumps on the high heat, while also immediately recognizing off speed and crushing that too. How?!?! I've been playing this game for so long... I just don't understand it. I mean I literally have to swing the split second the ball comes out of his hand to catch up to a 98 mph heater, there is zero time at all to read and react. Yet they do?
